温泉之乡——罗托鲁阿
罗托鲁阿市位于北岛东北部，罗托鲁阿湖南畔，距奥克兰市221公里，多天然温泉，是毛利人聚居区和着名的旅游胜地，人口54 700人。“罗托鲁阿”是毛利语，意为“双湖”。罗托鲁阿湖面积为23平方公里。全市遍布热泉，市郊森林密布。湖光潋滟，山色迷离，游禽戏水，海鸥翔空，空气中硫磺弥漫，热泉灰黄泥浆沸腾，加之毛利文化多姿多彩，前来观光的游客终年络绎不绝。
罗托鲁阿市坐落在火山多发区。1886年6月10日火山爆发导致三个毛利村落化为废墟，1917年火山再次爆发，摧毁了坚固的旅游设施。法卡雷瓦雷瓦地热保护区(Whakarewarewa Thermal Area)是离市中心最近的地热区，也是最主要的地热名胜。旅客在此可目睹间歇喷泉、沸腾的潭水和硅石阶地。其中，“浦湖渡”间歇喷泉是几处喷泉中最大的一处，每天约喷发10～25次，喷发高度通常主16～20米，有时可高达30米。保护区还建有基维鸟室，游客可以目睹这种濒于灭绝的新西兰国鸟。
罗托鲁阿地区还以林业驰名。市郊有林地125万英亩，其中人造林30万英亩，主要种植加利福尼亚辐射松，有少量红杉林。新西兰林业研究所就设在该地区。罗托鲁阿市有新西兰最大的锯木厂和造纸厂，生产的木材占全国产量的一半，生产的纸张和纸浆占全国的四分之三以上。
罗托鲁阿市是新西兰毛利族特拉瓦(Te Arawa)部落中心。市内建有毛利博物馆、毛利工艺研究所雕刻中心、雕琢华丽的毛利会堂和颇具民族特色的毛利村寨。罗托鲁阿市还建有彩虹泉农场，种植100种蕨树，包括新西兰国树——银蕨；五个鳟鱼泉，养殖彩虹鳟鱼和蝎鳟。
